    Silver presentation bowl dated 1821 Linlithgow Shire Yeomanry cavalry

    Can someone explain the purpose/custom of this bowl.

    The engraving: "Presented by the commissioned officers & privates of the first troop of Royal Linlithgow Shire Yeomanry Cavalry to Alexander Duncan (Esquire) their Captain as a mark of their esteem and regard for him as a officer and a gentleman 1821."

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It's about something Capt. Duncan did for the Troop. It might have been a memento upon his retirement. The guy may have been adjutant, pay master or the like. Wasn't a drinking vessel. More like a gold watch.
    Linlithgow Shire should be one word.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Further research has the Army List for 1825 still listing him as a captain. He was not retiring or transferring.

    It should have a hallmark on it showing when it was assayed, somewhere.
